@marywaterman Best to purchase a phone that supports two sims and take advantage of any cheap tablet data plans available.

I did a quick scan on Chatr and Lucky offerings. The $40 5GB and $50 8.5GB plans are common for all three 3rd tier provider. Unless, Chatr or Lucky offers plan with more data, I don't see PM will offer plan with more data than the 8.5GB any time soon.
You can renew your $50 plan early with moderator assistant. Moderator response time is from a few hours to a day recently. If you do not want the delay, you can change plan between the $40/5GB and $50/8.5GB plans immediately.
$40/5GB plan = 125MB/$
$50/8.5GB plan = 170MB/$ Cheapest
$15/1GB add-on = 66.7MB/$
How much data you need every 30 days?
Do the calculation on how much it will cost you every 30 days.

@marywaterman The only time that I recall Public Mobile offering more data in a 30 day plan was back in October when 12.5GB of data was included with calling and texting for $60. That plan has not been offered since.

Very doubtful. If you needs lots of data buy the $50 plan and renew early whenever needed (cost is $5.88/gb).
Have a friend in cottage country without access to a landline, who does this.
